I'm actually in the process of going turbo. I have everything I need mostly just no engine management. The car is my daily so I want the most reliable solution.
I have:
Air Reaseach T3
BEGI t3/t4 manifold
Treadstone Performance oil feed and return line kit
SS autochrome intercooler and intercooler piping
Don't know how I'm going to go about on the down pipe situation yet. Mostly just worrying about engine management at the moment

That's good. Your next purchase should be a good wideband and a megasquirt.
Sometimes you can find a good deal on a used one, but we also have several vendors that sell them.
Do this first before you even think of adding any turbo parts. Learn how to tune it NA so you don't blow things up when you add the spinny bits.
New clutch is necessary before turbo as well.

Well, if I were you I would stop wasting money on random turbo bits for a moment.
Get a megasquirt & WB, learn to tune your non boosted vehicle. Do research on MS & Turbos in the mean time. Save up more monehz
& get quality parts.
And honestly, for simplicity. You can't go wrong with a FM Turbo kit with no electronics.

Engine management is one of the most important components to not cheap out on. There are band-aids that work, but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone with more than 4 functioning brain cells.

i actually have a greddy E-manage blue laying around cause I got it super cheap. Like $50 bucks kinda cheap from a close friend because he went standalone. I have no intentions on using it tho. Cause I know squat about it.

Quick question for yall, One day I was driving and my fuel pump just all of a sudden stopped running, I thought it actually went out on me. I ended up getting a new pump that wasn't the issue, changed the fuel pump relay it still was a no go. Then I jumped this wire in the diagnostics box now the car cranks right up but if I pull this wire the pump runs for about 20 seconds then dies. Anyone know the issue I have no check engine light so there is no reading codes.
